UPDATE:

Don’t fear the storm… what would showchoir be without a good ol Midwest Snow Storm!?

But in all seriousness… we are closely monitoring the weather and will adjust if needed. As of now… we are a FULL GO for Saturday as scheduled!

However, due to the incoming storm we do have one change in our judging panel. Karlene Krouse is not able to make it in so in her place will be Vince Matia as an Overall Judge! Vince was on the Directors Team here at Walsh Jesuit for the past several years before recently accepting the Director position with Grosse Pointe South High School leading the Pointe Singers and Tower Belles showchkirs; we’re lucky to have him back!

In addition to the traditional programs and t-shirts we sell… NEW this year will be eco-friendly reusable aluminum water bottles. They are black aluminum with our logo… for only $10 each.

All for now… we can’t wait to see you all on Saturday!
